Best Test player never to have had a forum thread?

[PeterCS]

We had the immortal Fuller Pilch, Victor Trumper and Michael Holding lately.

Gilbert Jessop? Graeme Pollock? Hanif Mohammad? Bart King? Major Booth?

Perhaps not Leslie Hilton.


This is a commemoration thread.

Did Xenophon Constantine Balaskas ever get a thread?

Eddie Barlow had an RIP thread.

How many tests did Fuller Pilch and Bart King play?

I think you know the answer to that one.

Bart King should have. Every match he played, he was figuratively wrapped in the stars and bars.

Pataudi is a thought.

Ranji even more of a thought though.

Or has he had a thread?

Fry has. But Ranji was a magnificent player, by all accounts.

A legend in his own lunchtime

[PeterCS]

As long as he is not a legend in his own lunchbox.

This is a family forum.

Did Tawny Grigg get his own thread? He was a top all-rounder for England.

[mynah]

I've dedicated threads to such legends as Robert Key and Ronnie Irani, in case anyone forgot. Not on this forum, to be sure, but all of you did belong to the other one, didn't you?

[PeterCS]

Ah, but we were talking quality ...

[PeterCS]

Colin Bland. He might be a candidate. As a fielder in particular.
